The family of a Casino New Brunswick manager who died after being assaulted on the job are suing the alleged perpetrator and the company that owns the casino.
Food and beverage manager Rodney Frenette, 56, was assaulted March 4 and died in hospital March 28. Michael Thomas Glaspy, 50, of Riverview has been charged with manslaughter.
Frenette’s estate, widow and daughter filed two separate lawsuits in Moncton court against Glaspy and the casino owner, Great Canadian Gaming (New Brunswick) Ltd.
The statements of claim say Frenette was working on March 4 when, “without warning,” Glaspy struck Frenette in the face, causing him to fall backward and hit his head.
